FRA-1 is a 27 MW wholesale facility in Frankfurt and is now reported in Iron Mountain’s operating portfolio at 100% leased. Cartis corrects the construction label to operating and keeps the 27 MW facility boundary separate from the combined 38 MW Frankfurt portfolio. Customer utilization, private contract terms and unreported project financing remain outside the verified public record.
